[LG Optimus 2x] AndroHQUist:
Thanks Paul !

You are the best. I am wating for the crowd to test this so I can use it for my mission critical work phone but the future seems bright.
[LG Optimus 2x] Inebriatef:
Hi Paul... first of all - Great job here :D

Second - if one can't get root access via SuperOneClick, like myself, is this still usable?
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
Root access is not a pre-requisite.

[LG Optimus 2x] Gilg@mesh:

[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
Great job paul
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
THANKS! Installing now :)

Update:

If you get error in windows just change adb-windows.exe to adb.exe :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
First, thank you very much, Paul. Great job!

Two questions.

1) This method overwrites the standard recovery on the phone, correct?

2) To revert back to standard recovery, one have to flash the whole phone using nvflash, correct?
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
1) Yes

2) No, you could just dd the stock recovery.img from the NVFlash archive.

P
[LG Optimus 2x] Sorensiim:
<- This is me "patiently" waiting for CyanogenMod and Paul's online kitchen for the 2x

GREAT work as always, Paul! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Okay. Thanks.

Im just curious, who supplies the NVFlash archive? And is the standard recovery image supplied by Nvidia or LG? Since it is part of the NVFlash archive.
[LG Optimus 2x] Inebriatef:
Found out why i can get no root access... i got no adb access at all.

First time pluggin in phone after install of LG drivers, it says that the adb interface thingy can't install.

This also causes that i can't install CWM.

Any suggestions as to what is wrong?
[LG Optimus 2x] Thegn:
Thank you, Paul!
[LG Optimus 2x] mirsalimov:
Successful nandroid backup :) I will try to make a custom rom.

Paul its was a good idea to let clockworkmod make backup to external sd because its not possible to mount usb storage in recovery menu yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nilssonnet:
I hade the same problems. Download the LG drivers from this site, worked for me.

(could not post links, so replace {dot} with a .)
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Tried Z4root?
[LG Optimus 2x] Inebriatef:
thx, it works now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
yipeee! now i can expect a real custom rom :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Korumera:
Ok first backup done! Works perfect! Thanks for all the effort!
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Same here. Thank you very much, Paul! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Egan:
Even better is to release the buttons when you see the text "A N D R O I D" on your screen just before the CWM Recovery menu shows.
[LG Optimus 2x] gpo2307:
Works great here !!

Thank you very much for your great work !
[LG Optimus 2x] rgwebster:
Thanks for the tip...works a treat now!!
[LG Optimus 2x] xarvox:
I just installed the recovery, shut down the phone and powered it up by holding volume down and powerbutton.

There were two quick flashes on the screen after the LG logo, the first in very small letters (didnt see what it said) then a quick flash of the recovery menu, but it immediately went to a 3rd screen; a circular "reload" icon with the text "S/W Upgrade, please wait while upgrading..."

Its been like that for a while now, but i have no clue what its doing..

i dont have a upgrade.zip on the external card, but a custom rom on the internal card.

Im a bit worried, it doesnt behave like my old HTC hero..

am i ****ed?

Or can i restart the phone and retry?
[LG Optimus 2x] hcarrega:
I get a problem in mount in mass storage
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
Yes, looking into that.

P
[LG Optimus 2x] hcarrega:
paulobrien any sugesstion to get mass storage working? im getting a mount error but now i cant remember it lulz:P
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
I'm pleased to let everyone know that my 99p '2X Recovery Boot' app will now flash ClockworkMod for you the first time you run it and flash new versions as they come available.

Of course, you can still flash it the old way, but this just makes it easier for some people.

Enjoy! :)

P
[LG Optimus 2x] Micron88:
Dont work for me...

If i try to boot the CWM it always boots the regular system. I even tried to boot CWM after flashing it with nvflash without success.

Btw. recovery didnt boot with stock rom too :/

Ps. I didnt have an creditcard so i cant try the 2X Recovery Boot app.

any idea?
[LG Optimus 2x] cazman34:
Thank you so much Paul, once I get my card details sorted I'll donate something to you.
[LG Optimus 2x] ice_v88:
Hope this next issue is an easy one:

- Rooted my O2x correctly with superoneclick v1.7 (exploit: psneuter)

- Installed CWMrec. correctly and was about to install Fr12 when I've decided to unroot just to check a couple of things (silly me :rolleyes:)

Just 4 curiosity, after I correctly unrooted, I wanted to see if CWMrec. still worked...well, it didn't. I actually get stucked at LG logo when booting with vol dwn+pwr btn...this forces me to remove battery and do a normal boot if I want to use the phone.

Questions:

- Is this normal behaviour?

- Theoretically, what procedure/passages should I apply from this current situation in order to Root again correctly, make CWMrec. work again properly (do I have to wipe, reset something along the way?)?

pls enlist passages clearly (I would like do get this work on first try :) )

thank you

[LG Optimus 2x] gsronald:
Dear Paul,

I can perform backup, it shows backup complete, after flash the online custom rom, I would like to flash back to previous backup but not available. It shows the system.img not valid, anyway to fix it? Please advise.
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Just bough your app via Market. It was almoust to easy to use! :D It works perfect and Im very pleased.
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
Thanks for your support! :)

P
[LG Optimus 2x] dohanin:
For the date/time of the backups, actually it's not just about the folder name on the SD card, but all the files as well. The month is advanced by 1. I've tried on my friend's O2X as well and also have the wrong month.

And by the way, looks like all Time are in GMT no matter what's set in the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] gaww:
I am going to be moving over from MT4G to Gx2 - I assume this recovery will work on it as-is? I want to be able make a nandroid ASAP, and of course will have to root and flash a recovery first.

PS - What is the market app he was referring to?
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
DO NOT RUN THIS ON THE G2X! The partition layout is different, doing so will do bad things to your device. I will release a G2X compatible version when I am back online in a week's time!
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.modaco.twoxrecoveryboot Doesnt work with GX2.
[LG Optimus 2x] codeworkx:
@paul

here's a dirty fix for the misssing /proc/emmc -> http://kan.gd/cem

With it you shouldn't have problems on clockworkmod anymore.
[LG Optimus 2x] gpo2307:
Problem

Great thanks for this work.

But there is a problem : In recovery, when i select "mount USB storage", it just gives me a error message :

Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).

Do you have an idea?
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
Just use adb to transfer files to and from the sdcard (adb push/pull).
[LG Optimus 2x] xfighter11:
How to use ROM Manager with this version of CWM? If I try to boot into recovery out of ROM Manager the phone simply reboots but does not start in CWM. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus 2x] Egan:
As you have seen when downloading the recovery through ROM Manager (select device), there is no support yet for CWM Recovery through ROM Manager.

You can only use CWM Recovery through Paul's method :).
[LG Optimus 2x] Mauritsdvh:
Can't get into recovery mode

i want to use the app Paul made to get into the CWM recovery mode, but it doesn't seem to work.

My phone is already rooted with Superoneclick (works)

When I start the Recovery app, it first says 'preparing ...', after which it says: "Rebooting in Recovery Mode", where it hangs forever.

Something I noticed: When i change the phones orientation, the application starts over and asks if i want to reboot again.

Trying to get into recovery mode using the vol down + power button didn't work either...

Anyone has any suggestions?
[LG Optimus 2x] Coarls:
If have made a backup on my current sdcard (16gb) and got a new one (32gb) can I make an sdcard copy (copy and paste) from old to new and still be able to restore if necessary?

:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
I can't see why it should be a problem. As long as the data is not corrupted you should be fine (check md5 values of the files if you want to be sure).
[LG Optimus 2x] bryant_16:
Hi there, i just bought this app from the market and i'm able to get to the recovery screen but i cant do a backup of my phone. It says can't mount my /sdcard.

What's wrong with it? My sdcard is inside my phone already.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
There is ROM Manager support now :D
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I flashed CWR 3.0.2.7 from RM but when I booted from RM to CWR and tried to nandroid backup it says unable to mount /system. WTF

Ideas?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Oh yeah, mine too.

Will tweet Koush about it I 'spose
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
The stock rom sure has tons of **** apps by lg.

Btw rusty!, wat rom u are on now? I feel this OX2 sucks with stock rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] sunstorm:
hey bro Temasek!

i have been playing with this phone since starhub preorder and welcome to o2x :-) really good to start seeing familiar faces here from n1.

go with fr12 from paul and strip out the things you don't need with titanium backup for the moment. cm_arcee is our resident dev for cm7 and it looks like fair chance we might be seeing it soon.

afaik, rom manager does not support o2x fully for the moment.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Cool! Now got 2 lines. N1 with starhub and ox2 with singtel. Lmao :)

So I should use Paul's version of CWR then right?

Damn I kept pressing back key for home. Zzzzzzzzz
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Even with Paul's CWR I can't mount /sd-card. :(

EDIT: I power off my O2X and power up to recovery directly and YES, I am nandroiding now. Will try Paul's magic ROM soon.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
The latest 'vanilla' MoDaCo ROM. Desperate for CM7 though :D

Love the hardware of this thing... LG seem to have side of things under control.
[LG Optimus 2x] dennis.busman:
why i can't mount SD in CWR :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You can with the ROM Manager version.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpatix:
Is rooting required ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Of course.
[LG Optimus 2x] husneyz:
Dear All,

First i installed cwm recovery from this thread, it was success but can't do nand backup, so i use rom manager and installed cwm recovery from there and success.

after that i choice boot into cwm recovery from rom manager, phone was restart but stuck in LG logo.

i tried to take out take in the batre and do normal boot on the result is same "stuck in lg logo"

i also tried to enter to cwm recovery by press power + vol down but still same stuck in lg logo :(

would you please help me ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
The date of the backups seemse to be random, wich makes it really hard to figure out wich backup is the newest.
[LG Optimus 2x] akira de aimbuster:
+1, having this problem too.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraser43:
s/w upgrade mode?

HELP!! when i use the .bat file it opens cmd and it does something

but when i press VOL-DOWN+POWER it only shows me s/w upgrade i do not have an ClockworkMod Recovery

when i use ROM manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery, it works but when i flash another rom the CMW dissappears and i need to reflash with smarttool wich s*cks every time

PLEASE HELP ME i CANT FIGURE THIS OUT
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
How brilliant! I updated to the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery via Market (Via the app I paid for), and now my backups isnt working.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No reason for it not too.

Are you looking in the manage backups section of ROM Manager, or manually restoring after booting into recovery?

If it's not being found in ROM Manager, it's because ROM Manager looks for the backups on the internal SD card, but they're actually stored on the external one (assuming you're on stock/stock based ROM).
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
I dont use ROM Manager. Now I have to download some new ROM, flash it to be able to flash an older version of CWM, so I can finaly restore my backup I want to use.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonime:
Not for of vibrating the mobile when I enter the recovery, they have some solution?
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
am i right if i use pauls recovery i also get root and do not need to use the super1click root method anymore?

i am a bit confused of all that reading now lol...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Paul's script roots the phone first, as you need root access to flash the recovery.

If you already have rooted via SuperOneClick, install ROM Manager from the Market and that will install the recovery for you.
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
im not rooted yet

so pauls cwm roots and installs the cwm right?

no super1click needed anymore?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Correct, the script does pretty much the same thing as SoC, just without the UI
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
that sounds nice

also possible with the actual cwm .28?

or just with the cwm from 1st post?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you pop to MoDaCo, you can grab his updated one which includes CWM 3.0.2.8
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
Have an LG p990 obviously.

Used One Click Root, but ClockWorkMod from the market said it couldn't flash the recovery image.

Installed this, rebooted in recovery, and it's 10 minutes that it sits with

"S/W Upagrade Please wait while upgrading..."

Is it supposed to be this slow? What is it upgrading? Can I turn it off?

I've no roms on the SD.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You've are you sure you've rebooted into recovery? Sounds more like you've only held vol- and gone into smartflash mode.

Pull the battery, and if you want to get into recovery, hold vol- and power together until you get there.

Also, this recovery is old and broken, the newest is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098745 (installs in the same way, batch file)
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
You're right, my noobness :P

Thanks mate!
[LG Optimus 2x] Shelburne:
cwm rom

I have looked everywhere for a custom rom for the optimus s and I don't know my way around xda, can someone help me?
[LG Optimus 2x] jetdevil24:
Oh my God, after install CWM with the BAT and download the Recovery App from the Market my Phone would'nt boot into recovery, on the Screen are now:

S/W Upgrade

Please Wait

while upgrading...

What's wrong now, my LGOS is now bricked? :confused:

EDIT:

OK, now it goes perfect!

EDIT:

Wow, my First Backup from my LGOS, thank you very much Paul.

I Donate your App :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] treeo:
I also always get that message.. have been waiting for one hour 3 times... But nothing happens. i then remove the batteri and the phone is like usual.

How did you get past that message? What am i doing wrong?
[LG Optimus 2x] jetdevil24:
First, Sorry for my bad english :o

I did the same, battery out and reboot the Phone, after reboot i started the App recovery from the Market, SU Popup shows an i allowed Root, the Phone boot now successfull into recovery.

I hope you understand me :D
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Been holding off on the Optimus 2x until custom recovery was available and now i got my rooted 2x with custom recovery! :) Thanks for your hard work Paul, it's much appreciated!
[LG Optimus 2x] peppesgd:
work perfect thank you paul
[LG Optimus 2x] redwoodsnemesis:
thank you very much. This post was worth the wait:D - backup run with no issues at all

(for others trying this for the first time - release power button when lg logo blinks - otherwise the device might reboot when you release the power button)
[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
Hi! And thanks Paul, you made my day (maybe even whole year)!

Im currently in a hotel kinda far away from home, and with no pc.

Heres what i did :

1. downloaded the recovery on my phone

2. Extracted it to my sdcard

3. Moved the *.img to /data/local with root explorer

4. With an terminal emulator i did this:

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ $su

#dd if=/data/local/clockworkmod.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7

8680+0 records in

8680+0 records out

4444160 bytes transferred in 2.701 secs (1645375 bytes/sec)

[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
And there i bought Pauls app from market! :)

I suggest everyone does the same to support our God :D
[LG Optimus 2x] MuggsDK:
I get this error:

adb-windows shell /data/local/psneuter

mmap() failed. Operation not permitted

Phone is rooted, and all the other lines is "installed" correctly. But the clockworkmod doesn't work.
[LG Optimus 2x] Aduck79:
First I would like to thank Paul for his efforts!

Just followed this procedure (copy/paste using Google Chrome to Phone). Right now I'm doing backup in ClockworkMod Recovery :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
I think it is caused by a root/su problem. Try to unroot your phone first.
[LG Optimus 2x] treeo:
Hello!

I get this message and dunno what to do.. :S

img823.imageshack. us/img823/7436/flashfel.jpg

Remove the spaces in between in the adress above, i am not allowed to posts adresses :/

What can be wrong? USB-debugging is set to ON. USB Mass Storage is set to OFF.

My phone is succesfully rooted.

Pls. Help.
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Maybe a root problem. Try installing with a unrooted phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
Sorry if i complicated anything in my post before....

Copy the img file to /data/local

Download a ‘terminal emulator‘ from market

Open it, and first type: su

And hit enter

After that you type (or copy) this line to the terminal : dd if=/data/local/clockworkmod.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7

Hit enter and youre done :D
[LG Optimus 2x] treeo:
I will try this instead.. ;-)

Dont think its a root problem cause everything else that want root access gets it. Thanks for all help! =)

EDIT: And it worked great! Thanks =)

And thanks Paul ofc!

Now i will support Paul and use his app and do a recovery. =)

EDIT2:

Ok... Im a total noob at this. I apologize. Have now made a backup... Is it necessary to copy the image file to my computer?

Noticed that they are on my external SD-card now. The external card will never ever be formated or reseted if you restore the phone i assume?
[LG Optimus 2x] MaliciousKen:
i was able to install the recovery, but when i try to nandroid it says

can't mount /system

my phone is rooted and tested with several apps to ensure root is working

anyone can help?
[LG Optimus 2x] MuggsDK:
Thanks. Worked like a charm.

Unroot > reboot phone > install clockworkmod > root > reboot phone.

And now i have my first backup :D
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Superb :-) Now you can root it again :D
[LG Optimus 2x] MaliciousKen:
Have been trying for hours.

regardless my phone is rooted or unrooted, I can't do a backup in clockwork recovery.

keep getting error "can't mount /system"

Really need some help here
[LG Optimus 2x] keiheep17:

Thanks for your hardwork

i have a question. : when i plug in the usb how can i get the usb debugg??
[LG Optimus 2x] treeo:
Settings - Applications - Development - USB Debugg

i dont know if these are the right words, cause i have swedish text... But i think its correct ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
Beta 2 will be online Monday with a EXT4 ROM version (bundled in my EXT4 test atm) and with the 'Advanced' menu fixed.

P
[LG Optimus 2x] jetdevil24:
that sounds great, am very excited! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
Beta 2 is now online!

This fixes the 'advanced' menu and also adds a EXT4 version for use with EXT4 ROMs (like MCR).

P
[LG Optimus 2x] jetdevil24:
I can also update with Beta 2 over my CWM 3.0.1.4 Beta1 without ext4?
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
Yes, there's two commands - one to flash EXT4, and one to flash non-EXT4.

P
[LG Optimus 2x] tommyli12000:
thank you so much~ as i can ndback up now:D
[LG Optimus 2x] h1o:

install this recovery drops the warranty?
[LG Optimus 2x] yopbuble:
I'm getting the same problem. Tried several things but it still not working.
[LG Optimus 2x] jetdevil24:
same problem with me (EXT3)

CAN'T MOUNT /SDCARD

no backup or restore possible

Update:

have the sdcard removed and replaced and now it's all perfect PUHHH ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] yopbuble:
Nevermind, I tried with beta 2 it works fine with ext4 suport.

Keep up the good work Paul !:)
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Have you inserted an sd card ? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] jetdevil24:
yes, the same as with CWM 3.0.1.4 beta1 and since it worked but not with Beta 2:mad:

Update:

have the sdcard removed and replaced and now it's all perfect PUHHH ;-)

Paul you're the GREATEST!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] nukleuzN:

[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
Thanks mate!
[LG Optimus 2x] phoneixx:
At one point there was a rumor going around that whatever method used to get custom recoveries onto the 2x would help with cracking the Atrix bootloader issue. IIRC this rumor was fairly ungrounded, along the lines of an anonymous tipster trying to give devs a "hint." Can't hurt to ask though, were there any issues concerning the bootloader being signed here which were conquered here?
[LG Optimus 2x] nukleuzN:
Anyone? :confused:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12406530&postcount=54
[LG Optimus 2x] Novek:
From what I've read the 2x was rooted with the old exploit psnuter, and you can flash it with dd or nvflash. No signing needed...
[LG Optimus 2x] Thibble:
Does anyone know if I can use ROM manager to flash clockwork recovery mod? I have the premium one, if that says anything.

And thanks alot Paul for all your hard work. Looking forward to removing this stock piece of turd I've got on my precious 2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] paulobrien:
Not at this time.

P
[LG Optimus 2x] poi2005:
Sorry that I am completely new to Android, need some advice on this.

1. Do I need to root my device before using this ClockworkMod?

2. I saw that NVflash stock rom is available, do I still need to backup my own ROM?

3. Do I need to use the NVflash before using ClockworkMod?

Sorry for all this noob questions.
[LG Optimus 2x] treeo:
1. Yes

2. No

2. No (But its good to install nvflash-drivers before using or installing CWM)
[LG Optimus 2x] N3WDROID:
Quite strange, for me the CWM worked with "Power Up - Volume Down - Method" without rooting the phone. I did the rooting after creating an backup !
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
The answer for the first question is wrong. Installing and using Clockworkmod Recovery does NOT require root access.
[LG Optimus 2x] Novek:
The executeables the Paul has made include the psnueter hack in the progress of installing cwm, so that a rooted phone is not required... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Exactly :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] treeo:
Correct. My mistake...

I was using his app... ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] OTOGY2002:
Very very thanks paul,you're incredible:D
[LG Optimus 2x] action294:
Could you tell me where can I find the .bat file for EXT4 file system? Or does it detect it automatically?
[LG Optimus 2x] Novek:
Beta 3 handles both ext3 and ext4...
[LG Optimus 2x] action294:
The instructions indicated that I need to use a different file for flashing, that confused me. I flashed it, works, thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] treeo:
The instructions if for beta 2.

Beta 3 works woth either of them =)
[LG Optimus 2x] treeo:
Is it possible to do a so called "Hard Reset" via CWM? If i choose factory reset in CWM is that the same as an "Hard reset"?

Will CWM be removed if i do this reset?

If i do this reset, will LGs orginal rom be installed if i already have EXT 4 installed?

Many questions... But thanks in advance ;-)
